Thursday has always been my favorite day. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because there always seems to be good television on Thursday nights. But I'm pretty sure it's because Emma came to the house on Thursdays. She cleaned. And she did laundry. And she always sang. She told funny stories. And boy, did we laugh.And we tried to scare her as often as possible. One day she showed us the knife she carried in her bra. I think that's when we stopped trying to scare her. She still calls me "My Dahlin'" - Emma's birthday was on Sep. 5 - I love that lady.
